It is generally not recommended to cut Crestor (rosuvastatin) tablets in half, as they are not designed to be split and doing so could affect the dosage and effectiveness. If you believe a lower dose is necessary, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider for appropriate alternatives or dosages. Always follow your doctor's instructions and the medication's labeling.

How do you convert 1.2 g to 600 mg?

That's a lot like asking "How do you convert 1 foot to 6 inches?" It can't be done, because 1.2 g is not the same as 600 mg, and it never will be unless you cut it in half and throw half of it away. 1 g = 1,000 mg 1.2 g = 1,200 mg 600 mg = 0.6 g

Can you cut oxycodone hcl 30 mg in half?

YES .. you can cut it in half, but question should be, 'if I cut a 30 mg oxycodone in half, will each half have the same amount of oxycodone'. This is what I'm told to do with my 30 mg and I don't trust that each half is equal in dose. My VA doctor prescribes the 5 mg but the pharmacy changes it to 30 mg and tells me to cut them in half. Have complained, written letters, and it gets corrected 'once' and then back tot he 30's. They did supply a pill splitter but what a pain in the ass to cut these little pills. The 30's are the same size as the 5's. If the pill has a splitting line, then it is certified to be cut in half and there will be about half the does remaining in each half. If there is no splitting line, there you are correct to be uncertain about the distribution of the active ingredient within the pill. However, half of 30 is 15, not 5 so, more importantly, if you doctor is prescribing 5mg pills, and the pharmacist is filling with 30mg pills, then the pharmacist is guilty of malfeasance and needs to lose his or her license. It sounds like you need to contact your local Attorney General's office and/or the FDA. Also, get your doctor involved.
